Subject: [PATCH] x86: Remove unnecessary kmap() from sgx_ioc_enclave_init()

From: Ira Weiny <[email protected]>

There is no reason to alloc a page and kmap it to store this temporary
data from the user. This is especially true when we are trying to
remove kmap usages. Also placing the token pointer 1/2 way into the
page is fragile.

Replace this allocation with two kzalloc()'s which also removes the need
for the memset().

Actually, there is, it's just poorly documented. The sigstruct needs to be
page aligned, and the token needs to be 512-byte aligned. kmcalloc doesn't
guarantee alignment. IIRC things will work until slub_debug is enabled, at
which point the natural alignment behavior goes out the window.

Well, there still is absolutely no need for the kmap as you can use
page_address for a GFP_KERNEL allocation.

Yeah, we do that in sgx_ioc_enclave_create already based on feedback:

secs = kmalloc(PAGE_SIZE, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!secs)
return -ENOMEM;

The kmap() in sgx_ioc_enclave_init() is an unfortunate miss. Let's just
follow the pre-existing pattern.
